RED ROCK [News, Spoilers and Discussion]

Dan Chipowski

I surprisingly wound up liking the first series a lot, but so far this series has been complete rubbish.

And what's Adrijan doing? Talk about a bad idea...

Hi 5 he deserves.

Paudge still has the best lines.

Westlife and Adijan hugging and Paudge goes "They'll be wearing the faces off each other next". I burst out laughing at that.

In tonights episode with Paudge and the bogroll stuck to his shoe, and then it dawns on him the break room is empty.

Adrijan, WTF are you doing?

STIG83

Adrijan is going getting jiggy with a Widow lady.
So we have Westlife and his side kick Toyboy.

I actually happened to be down on the set the day the were filming the grenade disposal scenes outside the Neptune. Jane McGrath (Sharon) and David Crowley (Sean) seemed to be having great craic in between takes running and jumping around outside the Garda Station with finger guns pretending to shoot everyone - I hope we see a gag reel or outtakes at some point, as I'd say lots of messing goes on there at times.

And how did you happen to be on the set, 'as you do'?

Did you ask why wasn't the cafe evaluated as its only a matter of yards from the station

i had a meeting there that day. I wasn't just there for the craic or anything. All the actual Red Rock offices are upstairs in the Garda Station building, so I just happened to catch a few scenes as I was entering and leaving the building.

Sure a grenade wouldn't be powerful enough to also damage the building across the road, even if it went off.

Adrijan would be in big trouble if it was discovered what he was doing. He would be accused by his bosses of taking advantage of a vulnerable woman (even if that's not exactly what happened).

Where do they film it? Also you saw Sharon in the flesh? :pac:

Not just any widow lady. The widow lady whose husband's death Adrijan is under investigation by GSOC for.

It was a grenade, not an exocet missile.

Ah sh1te. I used to work around the corner from there.

I assumed it was Dun Laoighre. Is that where the Neptune Cafe is?

Yep police station and Neptune are at John Player factory right next to one another. Location filming does take place in Dun Laoghaire and Howth.

I saw Sean Mahon AKA evil garda McGonagle in Westport today. Is he a native of there? Will he be coming back?

That would be interesting. Maybe in the next series. It's a bit too soon now I think.

Good thing I wasn't there. I'd be drooling over the cauliflowers.

Did you ask her "...are you alright Sharon?"

RR was fab tonight - simply fab The scene with Brigid tearing up the cheque was the equivalent of Den Watts serving divorce paper on Angie . " Happy Christmas Ange "

Also Starring LeVar Burton

Any time Bridget and Patricia are in the same scene it's always fantastic.

I also love the characters that only show up every so often - like Eddie and Ollie, it makes the community of Red Rock seem more realistic that it isn't always only the main characters and the criminal of the week...

The Talking Bread

The whole "he/she is a Kiely or he/she is a Hennessy waffle really is getting cringe. Take a drink everytime it is said in the episode, you will be fairly piss ed.

We should definitely invent the Red Rock drinking game - I'm sure I could convince the guys who run the Facebook and Twitter page to do up an official list if we put some suggestions together...

Watched last night's episode just now, and my credulity went !PING! I'm afraid.

The whole Superintendent in charge of the case being married to the solicitor who's the sister of/defending the accused was bad enough, without said sister/solicitor ringing the DPP to effectively do some insider trading.

Puh-lease.

It's a shame because the rest of it - or most of the rest of it, Adrijan's current storyline is pushing it a bit tbh - is very watchable.

Is RR not as good as first season? This thread seems very quiet in comparison... I have yet to watch most of it, think I saw first two, but my excuse is being abroad :P

Ah here, its not that uncommon. If anything it makes the show more real.

Also not uncommon in similar situations.

I thought Pauge's comment on Kostas and Westlife finally coming out as a couple was priceless! There are some gems in the writing. He often gets the best lines I think.

The bullying storyline in the first season was compelling. Brian was such a nasty sneak - it was all so believable. Can't say that I feel so engrossed this season! Don't like the drugs story with Paudge - I prefer him as light relief, as he was in the first season - he was brilliant. At times you really liked him - at others, he was so annoying as he was too cowardly to stand up for Sharon.
